Prices vary by district, building grade, and lease length — premium addresses can run 30–50% above the average, while peripheral submarkets are often 20–40% cheaper.

Which areas of Tokyo are best for office space?+

The most active submarkets are Marunouchi, Shibuya, Roppongi. Each has a distinct character — from established corporate cores to creative quarters and emerging tech clusters — so the right choice depends on your team's commute, client base, and brand positioning.

Do I need a broker to find an office in Tokyo?+

No. spacebly connects you directly to operators and landlords across Tokyo, so you keep negotiation leverage, see real-time availability and pricing, and pay nothing in broker fees. Brokers are typically paid about 10% of the first year's fees.

What lease lengths are available in Tokyo?+

Flexible/serviced terms start at one month and run to 36 months. Managed and conventional leases typically run 3–10 years with break clauses. Tokyo has one of the most mature flex markets (especially strong for corporate HQs, tech and finance), so even smaller teams can secure short, transparent terms.

How fast can I move into a new office in Tokyo?+

Serviced and managed spaces in Tokyo can be move-in ready within 1–2 weeks. Custom fit-outs and conventional leases take longer (8–16 weeks). Going direct through spacebly typically shortens the whole process by 3–4 weeks versus a brokered search.

Is hybrid working changing the office market in Tokyo?+

Yes — demand has shifted firmly toward flexible, high-amenity space with strong meeting-room capacity and shorter terms. Tokyo operators have responded with hospitality-grade fit-outs, on-demand meeting rooms, and per-desk pricing that scales with hybrid headcount.
